MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC, OGG, Opus, or MP4, M4V and MOV video. Up to 20 minutes. Audio up to 200 MB, video up to 1 GB.
Three steps online. Nothing to install.
Drop in a song in any common audio format, or an MP4, M4V or MOV video, up to 20 minutes long.
Separation starts automatically after a quick security check. The AI instrumental maker splits your song into a vocal track and an instrumental track.
Compare the instrumental with the original and the vocals, then download both tracks as 24-bit WAV.
An AI instrumental maker removes the vocals from a finished song and keeps everything else. You upload a mixed track and get two files back: the instrumental, with the drums, bass, guitars, keys and effects, and the vocals on their own.
Older tricks such as phase cancellation only work on some stereo mixes and often thin out the music. An AI instrumental maker learns what a voice sounds like from thousands of multitrack recordings, so it can pull the lead vocal and the backing harmonies out of almost any song while the band stays intact.
Separation does not change the pitch, tempo or length, so the instrumental plays in time with the original from the first beat to the last.
Every upload gives you two WAV files: the instrumental and the vocals.
Karaoke and practice
Sing karaoke over the real band, not a MIDI remake. The AI takes out the lead vocal and the backing harmonies and keeps the drums, bass, guitars and keys. Musicians and teachers use the same backing track to rehearse parts, solos and entries.
Covers and remixes
Drop the studio-quality WAV into GarageBand, Logic, FL Studio, Ableton or Audacity. Record your take over the instrumental, or build a remix around the separated vocal.
Video
Upload the video file itself. You get the music and the voice as two WAV files, ready to put under a new voiceover or reuse in your edit.
We mixed real multitrack songs, ran them through this tool and measured what was left in the instrumental.
Studio recordings with a clear lead vocal separate cleanest. Heavy reverb or live crowd noise can leave a faint trace, so listen before you download.
We took songs from the Mixing Secrets free multitrack library that have separate lead and backing vocal stems, mixed them at typical levels (lead vocal 6 dB under the band, backing vocals 4 dB under the lead) and separated each mix with the same model this tool runs. Because we had the original stems, we could measure exactly how much of each vocal was left in the instrumental.
Every mix is different. Here is what to expect from the styles people upload most.
Modern pop and R&B keep the lead vocal clear and centered, so they make some of the cleanest instrumentals. Stacked chorus harmonies come out with the lead.
Loud guitars share frequencies with the voice, yet the riffs and drums stay intact. Screamed or heavily distorted vocals can leave a faint edge in the densest passages.
Beats separate cleanly because the vocal sits on top of the drums and bass. Ad-libs and doubled hooks go to the vocal track with the verses.
Synths, drops and basslines stay in the instrumental. Vocal chops that are cut up and played like an instrument can stay with the music.
Sparse guitar or piano arrangements give very open instrumentals. With fewer instruments filling the gaps, check quiet bars for leftover breaths.
Crowd noise and room echo are part of the mix, so they stay with the music. For the cleanest karaoke backing track, start from the studio version.
Three things that make the biggest difference to the result.
These tools use the same kind of AI separation. The difference is which track you came for.
You want the music without the singing: a backing track for karaoke, covers, practice or video. You get the instrumental and the vocals as two WAV files.
You want the voice on its own: an acapella for a remix, a sample or transcription. Same upload, same two files, with the focus on the vocal track.
Isolate vocals from a songYou want drums, bass and other instruments as separate tracks. IsolateVocals makes two tracks, vocals and one combined instrumental, so use a stem splitter for that job.
Play the instrumental, the vocals and the original side by side.
Both tracks at 44.1 kHz, ready for your DAW, editor or karaoke setup.
Lead vocals and harmonies both go to the vocal track, so the instrumental is ready to sing over.
MP4, M4V and MOV up to 1 GB, with two WAV tracks back.
An AI instrumental maker removes the vocals from a song and keeps the music, so you get a backing track for karaoke, covers or practice. IsolateVocals splits your song into an instrumental WAV and a vocal WAV.
Yes. Your first song up to 10 minutes is free, with no sign-up and no card. Sign up with Google for 10 more free minutes. After that, minute packs start at $1.99 and never expire.
No. Backing vocals are removed along with the lead vocal. In our tests, 92% of backing vocal energy left the instrumental.
Yes. Separation does not change pitch, tempo or length, so the instrumental matches the original track.
Yes. Every upload also gives you the vocals as a separate 24-bit WAV, useful for acapellas, remixes or learning a melody.
Most of it goes with the vocal. Heavily processed vocals or live recordings can leave a faint echo, so check quiet passages before you download.
Upload the video file itself. MP4, M4V and MOV files up to 1 GB work; links don't.
No. IsolateVocals works on your phone and your computer. Open the page, upload a file and download the WAV tracks.
No. Tracks download as 24-bit WAV, which opens in DAWs, video editors and most music players.
Up to 20 minutes. Audio files up to 200 MB, videos up to 1 GB.
Your files stay available for 24 hours after upload, then they are cleaned up automatically. Download what you want to keep.
Karaoke, practice and lessons are the common uses. To release a cover or use the music in a published video, get permission from the rights holder.
Run any song or video through the instrumental maker, play the backing track against the original, and download studio-quality WAV when it sounds right.
